Texte intégral
1The documentation related to the Società Nazionale Officine Savigliano (National Ironworks of Savigliano) is currently housed at two different institutions in Turin: the State Archives (combined sections)1 and the Central Library of Architecture at the Polytechnic of Turin (www.polito.it).2 The first institution houses documentary material from roughly 1880 to 1975, when the American company General Electric took control of SNOS.3 The material, stored in folders or bundles, constitutes the largest part of the archive: nearly 400 linear meters. The part relating to projects and construction site activities is collected in folders, with the drawings folded. Numerous other documents, mostly tracing papers, are wrapped in tubes or lying flat in large folders. Other drawings (about 800) are simply wrapped. Photographic documents consist of glass plates, prints, photo albums, and slides. This section of the archive also contains woodblocks and metal plates that may have been used to print the company magazine. The archives also include the 665-volume technical library. As an excellent primary source for the industrial history of Turin and Piedmont, the company’s archives were donated to the Italian State Archives, which then completed a full reorganization and computerized cataloguing of the materials between 2002 and 2003.
2The Central Library for Architecture at the Polytechnic of Turin stores about 1000 glass plates, reproductions of the project and construction site drawings, some of which document the work in progress. An inventory of the archives has been compiled in hard copy.
